These are Ron Paul people...not conservatives. More libertarian.
Without serious budget cuts there will be no balanced budget. Boehner is purging those who would cut back the Federal budget so he can have more same-ol-same ol. These are TEA Party people, many of whom believe one way to a more balanced budget is less government.
I think the poster claimed the GOP has a prob with the Tea Party and Conservatives driving away the same constituency.
As far as I’m concerned, the recent election losses have little to do with the Libertarian Party; a group that is largely liberal and likely cost the Democrats more votes. This group, btw, is not exactly libertarian.
